Star Trace Gate

"Da da da……"

The sound of the clock hands turning was clear in my mind.

[First-order star gate—Qingliang Town, countdown to start: 6:00:00. 】

An ethereal voice flashed through, and Ren Ye's brain returned to calm.

In the office filled with pungent smoke, Huang Wei sat on a chair with a somewhat guilty expression: "Believe me, we have used this pen before. The specific method is to copy and read out the sentence at the same time. Whoever gets it will It's all available. So, I don't really know, it's bound to you... It might have something to do with that call."

Ren also looked down at his palms, his eyes blank.

Just after the Star Mark Gate appeared, the simple brush suddenly disappeared from his hand. Immediately afterwards, Ren heard the sound of the pointer turning and the ethereal reminder sound in his head.

And...who is calling me in that abyss-like star gate? Just thinking of that voice made Ren feel numb.

It's so weird that I can't explain it with my smart brain!

After a brief silence, Ren Ye felt that he needed to calm down, raised his head and said, "Give me a cigarette."

Huang Wei looked at him worriedly, and while taking out his cigarette, he asked softly: "You...do you feel any changes in yourself?"

Ren also took the cigarette, and with his trembling right hand, he lit the lighter twice before lighting it. Then he took a deep breath: "A voice appeared in my head. To be precise, it was a six-hour countdown."

The two looked at each other, and Huang Wei's lips twitched: "That means they are completely bound."

"You mean, I have to go in?" Ren Ye felt that the smoke was a bit choking on his throat, he frowned and coughed twice: "Is there no choice?"

"Yes."

"So I only have six hours to prepare?"

"Yes. After six hours, you will enter whether you want it or not. In other words, the Star Mark Gate has chosen you." Huang Wei nodded.

Hearing this, Ren Ye's eyes gradually became calmer: "Have you done what you promised me yesterday?"

"It's done."

"Heh, I have six hours to leave this world. How about... you accompany me for a walk?" Ren Ye asked with a wry smile.

"can."

Huang Wei stood up.

Ren Ye held the cigarette in his right hand and commented calmly: "Your cigarette is fake, it will choke your throat."

Huang Wei looked at him strangely, raised his hand and pointed: "Didn't you notice that the cigarette you smoke... doesn't have a holder?"

"what?"

Ren also looked down at the cigarette and was stunned for a moment.

"You smoked backwards and lit the cigarette holder."

"...!" Ren Ye still maintained a calm image: "The cigarette holder is good and powerful."

Huang Wei could tell that he was very nervous and had not yet completely recovered from the shock of the strange phenomenon, but this boy wanted to keep a calm attitude while talking to him.

Ha, interesting.

After saying that, the two of them left the office together.

When he walked to the main staircase, Huang Wei glanced behind him unconsciously and blinked at the camera.

In the monitoring room, more than twenty people with different appearances were staring at Ren Ye's figure on the monitoring screen.

In front of the crowd, a young man in dark blue cloth turned his back to the crowd and said in a cold voice: "Inform Huang Wei. Ren Ye, Shanghai stock code 001. From now on, anyone who wants to leak any information about 001 privately will Once verified, it will be treated as treason."

"Understood." The middle-aged man standing next to him nodded.

"brush!"

In an instant, there was a sudden cool breeze in the room. The young man in dark blue cloth turned into a burst of smoke and disappeared. Where his body had just stayed, only a Taoist talisman was left burning slowly and turned into ashes on the ground.

As soon as the young man "left", everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously and immediately exploded.

"The star gate is calling an ordinary person? This is a phenomenon that has never happened before."

"It's blown up. Brother Huang is totally blown away! Gou Ri's red-eyed mad battle is so lucky."

"What a shame, why doesn't Ren go to jail in our area?!"

"If I take care of this person, what's the harm in finding a few young ladies who can take advantage of him?" said a beautiful young woman.

"With all the previous four people gone, how far can a newcomer go? Alas, the rarer it is, the harder it is."

As soon as these words came out, the room was quiet.

Instead of having a lively discussion, everyone looked worried.

……

In the afternoon, next to an ordinary kindergarten, Ren Ye was wearing a peaked cap and was sitting under an outdoor umbrella, drinking hot coffee with Huang Wei.

He stared blankly ahead, his brain working rapidly.

According to Huang Wei, there were four players before him who had experienced two consecutive missions, but all of them died...

A corpse that had been dead for three days came out with the "pen".

Then, this pen was activated, and the final star gate opened, but an ethereal voice kept calling him...

Ren also thought about all this, and felt a sense of fear in his heart of being named by the Lord of Hell himself.

Huang Wei was still wearing a greasy and sloppy appearance. He looked at Ren Ye's side face and asked softly: "Are you really not looking for an excuse to meet your family? I have the power."

"If you don't do it well, you will die." Ren also came to his senses: "To be honest, I'm a little scared. Meeting them... will only make me more scared."

"Ah."

Huang Wei didn't say anything more. He just took out a bulging envelope from his arms and pushed it gently on the table in front of Ren Ye: "This is the 100,000 yuan you asked for yesterday."

"Okay." Ren nodded but did not thank him.

Huang Wei took a deep drag on his cigarette: "Also, I have applied for you a specific amount of more than 1.3 million yuan according to the pension standards of your original unit. You can use it now."

"If I can live, I will get the money myself; if I can't live... you will give this money to my father." At this moment, Ren also forcibly blocked the complicated emotions in his brain. He needed to calm down. , in order to make reasonable demands and protect their own rights and interests in the subsequent negotiations.

Huang Wei nodded slowly: "Actually, although the amount of money is quite large, and there is no precedent for being approved in advance, I still think it should be given, no matter it is...!"

When he said this, Lao Huang actually felt in his heart that the amount was not small and had been paid in advance. He believed that his actions were just and fully considered, so his tone was filled with the feeling that the boss suddenly gave employees a raise. There is a sense of showing off like a salary, and there is also a little intention to comfort Ren Ye, but it is all well-intentioned.

Ren also felt the other party's emotions, turned around and asked, "Is there nothing else but this money?"

"Ah?" Huang Wei was stunned for a moment: "...then what else is there?"

Ren also showed a businesslike expression: "Let me make a few requests."

"Okay, you mention it." Huang Wei subconsciously took out his notebook and said, "I'll write it down."
